The university graduation ceremony was held. Congratulations, Mina, on your graduation! And congratulations on passing the national exam as well!!
From Thursday, March 19 to Saturday, March 21, Professor Matsushita and PhD student Natsuko attended the 25th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine and the JSRM-ISCT Joint International Conference on iPSCs 2026, held in Kobe.
We also had the opportunity to reunite with Professor Pedro Gomes of the University of Porto, Portugal, who visited Nagasaki University in 2024.
PhD student Keita, and Shogo (a resident physician who will enter our PhD program in April) have been selected as scholarship recipients by the NSK Nakanishi Foundation and attended the award ceremony. Congratulations to Keita and Shogo!
Keita’s paper has been published in Communications Biology.
We discovered a factor that can lead to spontaneous fractures during early postnatal bone growth and identified the cell population of origin. Specifically, we showed that excessive Hedgehog signaling in endosteal osteoblast precursor cells in the early postnatal bone marrow shifts their fate from the osteogenic lineage toward adipocyte differentiation, resulting in bone thinning and even spontaneous fractures. Congratulations, Keita!

Keita’s review article has been published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism.
It provides an overview of how skeletal stem cells—key players in bone development and regeneration—may contribute to osteosarcoma and bone metastasis.
Congratulations, Keita!
